The perfect dress for tall girls: a review of PinkBlush

Raise your hand if you are over 5’8″… now raise your hand if you loveee buying maxi dresses? I’m assuming not many of you. As a tall girl myself I can make these predictions because I feel your pain. You fall in love with the perfect maxi dress and then in the dressing room you realize-

It’s 2 inches short! (bum bum BUMMMM)

every. freaking. time.

Well, fear not fellow tall ladies, I’ve got your back and I found the perfect maxi dress for us! PinkBlushgifted me this dress in return for my honest review/opinion of the piece and it is every tall girls dream. I was also so excited because it has a button on the bust area which would make it great for women who are breastfeeding.

at the top of the list is length! I’m 5’9″ and this dress more than brushes the tops of my feet (insert happy dance here)

the print is beautiful

the front tie makes this a flattering piece even for those of us with a little bit of a mom tummy

the detail on the straps are a nice touch

it’s casual enough for everyday but could easily be dressed up for evening or an event

it has a front button on the bust area-great for breastfeeding

it’s very flow-y (twirl approved)

Cons:

it’s a bit see through so a slip or nude underwear are required

although there is a button on the bust and I sized up for my breastfeeding “ladies” it still fits a bit awkward on me

the button won’t stay buttoned because of the size of my bust

Overall, I really love this dress. It is a great addition to my closet for casual and formal occasions alike. I wish that the bust area was a bit roomier for us big chested girls. Hopefully, once I am done nursing it will fit even better. The twirl factor is enough to make anyone feel pretty.

About the fit:

I am 5′ 9″, a size 12 and I am wearing a Large. It is a little big but because I am nursing I had to size up. As I pointed out in the whole post this dress has length. It is very long so for my non-tall ladies keep that in mind.

I paired it with some simple sandals. For date night I’m excited to pair this with a jean jacket. For a more formal event I could wear a nice cardigan. This dress is a must for your closet!

Always check back for more styles from me, an average mom, with an average closet.
